Ok I gotta stop you there. This manhwa isn’t grooming. Grooming means that the adult deliberately wants to take advantage of the child sexually and how they do that is that they slowly make them comfortable with and not question doing sexual things with them and isolating them from others. Is this weird? Yes. But people throw around grooming so freely that nobody actually knows how to watch out for grooming. If an adult gets sexually harassed by a crusty ass teen would you call that grooming by the adult?

girl google is free, godddd. Junhyeok didn’t raise the kid to BE his sexual partner, that’s grooming - when you SPECIFICALLY RAISE THE CHILD TO BE A SEXUAL PARTNER. Junhyeok raised the kid normally. The kid grew up into an adult and [spoiler] then kept coming on to Junhyeok.
Junhyeok giving in is a different story that you can complain about all you want, but please stop throwing around the word ‘grooming’ because actual kids will not know that they’re being groomed
Readers who are uncomfortable with MC raising the ML should not be reading this instead of complaining. Personally, I dont mind this kind of trope as long as the younger one is the dominant one, theyre both adults and the MC didnt have any romantic interest with ML esp when hes a minor. Also Director-nim is not a parental figure but more on like a brother figure (the ML literally calls him hyung). But I see him more on like a benefactor and I believe ML sees him like that too and obviously more than that.
anywy gonna marinate this one and the art style slaps
